About Me

Dr. Jeff Blackburn wanted to be a doctor for the longest time and his persistence paid off. For this Raleigh native, coming back home, where his parents and sister still live, seemed a great decision both personally and professionally.

“Before I was in medical school, I worked at a cardiac hospital in Columbia, SC, and got to know many of the cardiologists there and really loved what they did on a day-to-day basis. I always had an interest in pursuing cardiology from that point forward.

“For me, coming back home to Raleigh, having been away my entire training and practicing career, I was very interested in being able to be near family, finally getting to spend holidays here that I’ve had to miss over the years,” said Dr. Blackburn.

With skills in treating patients with coronary artery disease, diastolic and systolic heart failure and atrial fibrillation and other rhythm issues, Dr. Blackburn also addresses high blood pressure, high cholesterol and obesity factors for his cardiology patients. He has extensive experience in performing cardiac catheterization, TEE, stress testing, and advanced cardiac imaging interpretations.

In his spare time from work, Dr. Blackburn stays active with road biking, running, scuba diving and general fitness and exercise. However, he will admit that he does like to play video games with friends who are located around the country. He is a big fan of college football and European soccer and enjoys traveling whenever he can get away.

Dr. Jeffery Blackburn is not only an excellent cardiologist, he makes scheduled appointments that are so very convenient since he comes to the Garner Wake Med facility. He makes these visits painless and without excessive stress. The lady (did not ask her name) who met with me first is really excellent at what she does. She is a great ambassador for both Dr. Blackburn and Wake Med. Hopefully, she is being recognized and rewarded for how comfortable she make me (as a patient) feel. Ordinally, I do not especially like going to doctor appointments, but she makes this time with me a pleasure. Please thank her for what (and how) she does it. and she cares about the patients.
